Clamping
Before measuring the glass railings, clamping them is a must thing to do. If we do not clamp the glass, the possibility is more to measure the incorrect measurements. The clamp should be done with the help of rubber clamps if possible. This is so because, with metallic clamps, chances would be more to get scratched on the glasses.
Proper measuring
After clamping, you should start measuring the glass from top to bottom and from right to left. While measuring you should take care that from the bottom you should start measuring from the joints of the frame and the glass and same things you should also do while measuring from left, right and top. In this way, you will get the most accurate measurement of the railing glass.

Here you need to measure two lengths mainly of the tread. The first one is the rise of the tread which you can measure with the help of frame square and ruler. The use of a ruler in this method is to make the exact number visible clearly by marking the exact point on frame square. The next length is the run of the tread which you can also measure with the help of frame square and ruler.
The next thing here you have to do is to count the number of steps which you can easily do by counting the rise. So for counting the steps you need to count the number of rises.
